I do believe that a 1943 Tikkakoski 91/30 rifle with a Finn two-piece stock and an 1897 antique Sestroryetsk receiver is for sale even now at Empire Arms if you'd like to make a comparison... Sounds like quite a deal.

David, is it a round or hex receiver? Stacked blade or globe front sight? Matching bolt number?

HEX receiver blade sight bolt forced to match third time bolt was numbered
looks just like the one at empire arms

I'd say that you did very good on both counts. I would be very happy either way. But I sure would love to find a Turkish for 120.00, even happier if it was a private transaction.

The Finn stock and blade sight are the features I like, but that's just me. I think you did well and got a great deal. In my opinion, the Tikka 91-30s are some of the most under appreciated Finns out there. I've got 2 of them now, hoping they will go up in value and I will sell one off and buy something cool. They are usually excellent shooters!!

Sounds like you did OK.
